Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors of the urinary bladder: a systematic review.

We systemically reviewed the literature on inflammatory myofibroblastic tumors (IMTs) of the urinary bladder and compared between anaplastic lymphoma kinase (ALK)-positive and ALK-negative IMTs. An extensive search of the literature was performed in Medline and Web of Science using the following terms: "inflammatory myofibrolastic tumor," "inflammatory pseudotumor," and "bladder." A manual search was also performed using the web-based search engine Google Scholar.

Inflammatory myofibroblastic tumours of the urinary bladder: multi-centre 18-year experience.

Objective: To review a series of inflammatory myofibroblastic tumours (IMTs) of the urinary bladder in 10 hospitals in Hong Kong.

Methods: A database search in the pathology archives of 10 hospitals in Hong Kong from 1995 to 2013 was performed using the key words 'inflammatory myofibroblastic tumour', 'inflammatory pseudotumour' and 'spindle cell lesion'. Patient characteristics, clinical features, histological features, immunohistochemical staining results and treatment outcomes were reviewed.

Bleeding renal angiomyolipoma presenting as duodenal obstruction.

We report a case of a 60-year-old woman who had a delayed presentation of duodenal obstruction as a result of a bleeding right renal angiomyolipoma (AML) with retroperitoneal hematoma. Her duodenal obstruction did not improve upon conservative management, and a computed tomography (CT)-guided drainage of the retroperitoneal hematoma was subsequently performed. Post-intervention, CT scan confirmed hematoma resolution, and she was able to resume normal diet afterwards.

Evaluation of the clinical value of a simple flowmeter in the management of male lower urinary tract symptoms.

Unlabelled: Study Type - Diagnostic (exploratory cohort) Level of Evidence 3b What's known on the subject? and What does the study add? Electronic uroflowmetry reasonably predicts the likelihood of bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) and risk of AUR. This low-cost device, Uflowmeter(™) , allows men to perform uroflowmetry at home with ease and the results are compatible with that of electronic uroflowmentry. It can also estimates risk of AUR and the need for TURP to relieve LUTS.

A randomized controlled trial comparing the efficacy of hybrid bipolar transurethral vaporization and resection of the prostate with bipolar transurethral resection of the prostate.

Background And Purpose: In comparison with monopolar transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), bipolar TURP has been shown to have similar efficacy and complication profiles. Whether the hybrid technique of bipolar resection and vaporization of the prostate further improves catheterization time, dysuria, and complication profiles has not been defined, however. The objective of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety profile of bipolar hybrid prostate surgery using both resection and vaporization modes, with bipolar resection undertaken using the transurethral resection in saline bipolar system.
